Photos: Internet Explorer 8 RC1 features

As Microsoft gets Internet Explorer 8 ready for public use, take a look at what's coming in this gallery of IE 8's first release candidate.

The 'Compatibility View' toggle button appears on the toolbar when some elements of a Web site don't render properly. It automatically forces a change of rendering engine from IE 8 to IE 7 to keep the page looking as it should.

Here, you can see that, although Microsoft's own home page displays correctly, Google.com and Download.com both get the Compatibility View treatment, as indicated by the presence of the broken-page icon.
